One reason that some Americans microwave water rather than use a kettle is that our electricity is half the power of UK electricity. It takes a lot longer for an electric kettle to boil here. That said, I do use a kettle when boiling water for tea.
Come on, no one is this dumb. The senators knew they’d do this from the moment they voted to confirm. This is just premeditated political backtracking to fix as much damage as they can now that they’ve received their reciprocal favors.
And to the extent that they are actually following the federal law, regardless of its constitutionality.
I’m not in any way defending this. This is going to get people killed, including people who are here with legal status. Likely even citizens.
They don’t appear to be accepting just anyone off the street, though. The order talks about deputizing existing law enforcement officers as ICE agents.
So, we’re going to have even more poorly trained ICE officers rounding people up to be sent to concentration camps. People who have no idea how to validate documents. People who don’t understand the different types of legal statuses. People who want nothing more than to round up anyone with brown skin, regardless of their status. People who know that due process is dead because we can’t afford five million trials.
Ignoring what anyone thinks of undocumented immigrants, people with legal status are going to get caught in this. Some of them are going to go to camps. Some of them are going to be deported. Some of them are going to die. There will be more and more “mistakes” with no attempt at remediation.
I have no doubt that even citizens are going to die as a consequence of this.
“Troops” is in the title of this post but not in the executive order. It’s editorializing to make a point.
How about if we just act in the oligarchy’s best interests? I bet a war between India and Pakistan would increase weapons sales and they might even want Starlink! Good for everyone who matters!
Dude… yeah, brush your nose, there’s something on there. Almost got it! There! It kind of looked like cheeto dust.
Of course they are! They’ve engineered their appliances to get the energy star label. If that label disappears they lose their investment because that label will no longer be there to quickly distinguish the efficient products.
Onky if the price is higher due to regulations on child labor and non-toxic materials and manufacturing processes. Oh, wait, they want to roll all of that back to the 50s, too!
I don’t really disagree with you. It’s dumb to go out of your way to block an OS that probably works just fine.
That said, the answer is probably “lawyers” and an attempt to limit liability. People rely on the course materials to work. If they don’t want to out the effort into testing to ensure that their software works on Linux, even if it would probably be fine, they may want to limit the possibility of being sued by someone when it somehow screws up their semester.
So, they out up a soft barrier that says “this may not work right” but let you use it anyway. They have deniability if something goes wrong while the savvy Linux user probably just laughs and changes their user agent.
Essentially, no one is hurt and the lawyers are happy.
I wonder if there is animosity between Trump and Huckabee Sanders. Maybe this is retribution for some slight? She did go more than 90 days without doing a press briefing before she stepped down as press secretary.
Nope, no corruption here! Definitely no corruption happening! Everything is 100% above board!
These people need to be hanged for treason.
I also assume that kids shoes don’t last as long, though. There is no reason to build them to last.
This is an astoundingly stupid idea. What other program delivers more value for everyone who develops or uses technology than the CVE program?
What is the motive here? It seems like such a stupendously moronic move and so precisely targeted that there must be a motive. Make life easier for Russian hackers?
Sorry, the hostility wasn’t really aed at you. It was more intended to be aimed at the media. I’m just a little tired of people believing that protests weren’t happening before now. They were happening but the media wasn’t covering them.
Finally what? Finally the media is covering the protests that have been going on the entire time? They’re growing but they weren’t small even a month or two ago.
Soon, Mike Johnson will bringing his son to classified congressional briefings to make absolutely sure they don’t miss any of one another’s porn usage.
I agree, but I do wonder how many additional companies have quietly “donated” by buying up his meme coin.
Wow, that was a little strong given the subject. I’m not sure what I did to deserve being cussed at when I was just talking about electric kettles. Especially since I said I do use a kettle myself.
